ALL THINGS TRANSFORMERS!!!!

[MegaPrime33]

anybody know where I can get MP Prowl for a good deal?

I looked around and the cheapest I saw was on capturedprey for $70 but they're sold out. You could try your luck on ebay maybe.

Does anyone have any pic comparisons between takara mp10 vs hasbros?
See, I was never able to find one here locally (I have the takara) but I heard the paint apps are way better on the TRU version. Is this true? Someone is willing to sell me his (TRU) for )$110(opened), and I think is a hell of a deal

At $110, yes that's a good deal. But if they are about the same price, I'd pick the takara version over the hasbro one.

The blue in the cartoon isn't as bright as the hasbro one, but darker like the takara one. Though it seems the eyes on the hasbro one is more accurate.

Sold my hasbro one a few months ago, and I'm saving up for a takara one, since most of my MP are takara ver (soundwave, lambor, stars cream)

pretty sure these are not to scale. that, or WINGBLADE is one huge lady.

Is Soundwave being re-released or something?

Beyond the second production run?

Where are the MP seekers (new mold) hasbro?

that slide was "key transformers generations products for 2014" so i think its safe to say soundwave is getting a rerelease. that was from the investor presentation. there should be another presentation later I do believe.

Whilst Takara and selected 3rd parties are evolving Transformer design to ever increasing standards of excellence Hasbro are going in the opposite direction, everything in that link looks absolutely pathetic.

EDIT
There's no Lamborghini badge on that toy, so it appears as if Hasbro haven't paid for the license.

The goal, I believe, of Hasbro's TF lines has been, since.....whatever came after Armada, to placate kids and make the toys easier to transform. I personally can't stand this which is why I buy only MPs and 3rd party. But that's where they are at now. I wouldn't expect them to ever come out with a main line that was as good as RID or Armada again.

Has anyone heard any news on the actual release date of MP-12G? It's supposed to be in Feb, but we're half way through with no other pics or announcements?

Seeing those simplistic toys has got me wanting to Cyberverse toys again.

Generations is becoming the colector targeted line with more complex transformations, appearently.

As far as I know it was down for a March release

MegaPrime33,
I know there was some flak for the second Bayformers line and with some justification as most of them were complex just for the sake of being so, but it seems that Hasbro have now gone from one extreme to the other.

Not an issue for me because barring very occasional releases such as Generations Springer & Whirl it's not like I collect their stuff but obviously that's not the case for everyone.

 

[MegaPrime33]

Granted there have been some toys that have had some level of complexity, but the majority of the main lines after armada might as well have been playskool tformers.

Delish stickers.

 

[MegaPrime33]

Looks like MP Grimlock is getting an American re-release as MP11. Some of the generations stuff I will admit is fairly cool, but overall, it's a no thanks for me. Not really surprising. Can't stand any of the AoE stuff.

I was looking at close up shots of MP Grimlock and it looks like cheap plastic to me. Am I wrong?

What is it?

Glad to see Grimmy getting a re-release, even though I don't need it. Great figure, deserves it.
